    Tacos con tortillas hecha a manos - al pastor
    Emile T.

    Best tacos I have had in San Jose, CA. I ordered the tacos with fresh tortillas and they melt, bro. I don't know how it can carry the carne asada into your mouth, and then that tortilla just melts, bro. I need more tacos. The service is polite and the food came pretty quickly. The sauces are self serve and so are the aguas frescas. I think the self serve section could be maintained better. It's outdoors on Alum Rock, so that's the ambiance.

    mar y tierra - sub for tripas

    CASH ONLY OR ZELLE. we were nearby to get pizza box and saw this truck nearby so wanted to try. the mar y tierra tacos looked good to me in photos in review so i decided to try it - i'd say they did give quite a bit of shrimp - i sub meat part for tripas - tripas weren't that flavorful tho so i couldn't really taste it even if i ate the tacos without the shrimps. carne asada tacos were mid - the meat was sort of sweet tasting instead of your usual carne asada flavor. it was good to try but prolly wont return again. have had worse and have had better.

    located on the side of alum rock! good place for late night tacos!! they open until 3am on fridays and saturdays!! until 1am other days! i got the taco mar y tierra and the grilled shrimp went so well with the carne asada which was covered in cheese YUMM they give you a big portion too like one taco was so filling for me. the service was good! i believe it's cash only or zelle here to pay.

    i don't remember which agua fresca this was. there was this one and horchata to choose from.

    i give this place 4 stars. why? the tacos were solid. nothing wrong with the meat, not dry, tortillas were good, onions, cilantro, salsa, all hit the spot. if you've seen this truck on social media. give it try. it's worth it imo. service was alright. no complaints.

    Torta milanesa.

    The food is better than the Mexican restaurants near my apartment. I've had the quesabirria quesadilla and the milanesa torta so far. Both were excellent.

    Orale Taco Truck is truly a hidden gem that food lovers should not overlook. I recently visited and ordered the carne asada torta, and I was impressed by the generous amount of meat and the vibrant flavors of the salsas--they really elevate the food. I also tried their chicken tacos, which were very good, but the standout for me was the shrimp with steak tacos. The combination was fantastic, and the handmade tortillas made all the difference in texture and taste. If you're looking for delicious food at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Orale Taco Truck. It's a must-try! They take cash and zelle as payment but FYI they prefer cash

    Solid spot for when you are craving some mexican food reaaaaally late at night (they open till 3am!) and don't feel like driving to Cali Spartan's and dealing with the long wait/crowds. I got two street tacos, one with al pastor and the other with carne asada -- personally, I liked their al pastor more. Is this the best tacos you'll ever have? Definitely not, but it's a solid choice when you want a late night snack and your options are limited! Pretty nice that they give you radish, grilled onions, and a grilled pepper with your order. They also have pickled onions on the table. The orange and green avocado-based salsas were quite nice too. Had no issues with parking and they had a decent amount of tables and chairs laid out. It was also well-lit.

    My go to late night spot is no longer in business so I drove up and down slim rock looking for a taco truck to try. Saw this on the corner where fast bikes is and it decided to try it. Order two Carne Asada and a surf and turf, shrimp with meat mixed together. Tacos were tasty, they had a small condiment wire to dress to tacos how you want. There's a few tables for dining option. The food came out pretty quick once I put my order in.

    Another taco truck in SJ yay!! There is outdoor seating but it does get chilly at night. Food truck is cash only or they also accept Zelle. I would recommend to come here for their burritos cuz this is my fav spot for burritos. I have had tacos and other things on the menu but honestly would just pass and get their burritos yes!! I love their spicy avocado sauce that they have in house, I think it's one of their specialities because they would only have orange and green sauces everywhere else.

    Super nachos carne asada
    Erica N.

    Late night taco truck. We got carne asada super nachos, carne asada burrito, two bottled sodas .. totaling $40 . Please see photos of the nachos, it was terrible and borderline inedible. The cheese was terrible, looked like some processed melted cheese. The carne asada just looked like ground beef ?? There was cheese on the guac, on the pico de gallo, everywhere. Honestly this is a mess and we barely touched it. Burrito was subpar. Not worth the money at all.

    Todo very good, tacos de tripa were just as crispy I requested. The staff is nice and very attentive to us,

    I was overcharged heavily without consent on my card when I asked for extra lemons/sauce. Seriously? Over taco trucks aren't this stingy.

    Probably one of the better Taco Trucks I've been to with no complaints on my end, and my first…read morevisit too. After a music concert my group was hungry and my best friend suggested this place as it was relatively close to his home. I ordered a Pork belly Quesadilla and a Carne Asada Burrito for my lady and I was insanely surprised. I never seen pork belly offered so I figured I'd give it a try. It wasn't too bad but the carne asada tasted so savory and so different and delicious compared to other places. For the price we paid too I think this place is hard to beat. Definitely a "must-try" place in my opinion.

    I came to Tacos Chencho without really knowing what to expect since I had never tried it before,…read moreand I was actually pretty impressed! I got the al pastor tacos, and they were really good. I also liked that they give you grilled onions and lime on the side. We also tried the quesadillas, which were huge and had a really good serving size. We got a strawberry agua fresca and horchata as well, and both were good. Our group of six spent around $80 altogether, which I thought was pretty reasonable considering the portions and the amount of food we got. The food came out quickly too. After we ordered, I'd say it took 10 minutes or less, so we really didn't have to wait long. My only suggestion would be more seating. There were only about two tables when we went, and if other people are already sitting there, it can feel a little awkward having to share a table with people you don't know. I definitely think there's room for improvement there. Overall, for trying this place completely blind, I was really impressed. The tacos were good, the portions were generous, the food came out fast, and the price felt fair for our group. I'd definitely come back!

This place is for eating there only. They have benches. Sunny and Love both were awesome. I ordered Chole Kulcha, Chili Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Chap, Roomali Roti; Chole Kulcha- I don't have to eat Chole with it. Kulcha itself was very good, crispy and filled with masala. 5 star Chili Chicken- Quality of chicken matters the most. It was very good. 5 star Tandoori Chicken- Quality was great. Juicy, need to eat there only. 5 Star Chap- Need to eat right away. Don't let it wait otherwise it will loose its texture and taste. Taste when it is hot, good mixture of spices and chutneys with it. Onion enhances the flavor of it. 5 Star Roomali Roti- probably the best Roomali roti. Does not matter where they make it. They put butter on it. It does not get chewy or gets dry. 5 Star Sunny and Love they work hard to make it happen. Kudos to them. Noticed, while I was dining, two people came in and expected them to deliver right away and they left. Guys, give them a break, Truck opens at 4:00pm they have to set up the Tandoor it takes time atleast 45 min. To warm up. You can't expect to serve tandoori items right away.

    What a hidden gem! My wife and I were walking by looking for a place to grab lunch (since we were…read morenearby to pick up a cake at Peter's Bakery) when the owner convinced us to give his restaurant a try. We're so glad he did! The aguachile and camarón tacos were absolutely amazing -- some of the best we've had! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic, with the delicious flavors of Michoacán, Mexico. The service was great, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The owner was super friendly, and you can even see him working in the back, which gives the place such a personal and authentic feel. One thing to mention is that the prices might initially catch you off guard, but once you see the portions, it makes complete sense. The servings are generous enough to share, and the overall quality and value make it well worth it. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you don't plan on. This was definitely one of those experiences. A true hidden gem -- we'll definitely be coming back with friends!

There were a bunch of steps which the waitress helped me with when ordering. It's a decent sized restaurant with some parking spots in the front. I will say though the pricing on the food was a bit steep for that it was. Considering that, I think I would try to make it at home for half the price if I'm on a budget. The total turned out to be $50 dollars with only one dish, including tax and tip. The dish itself was nothing crazy, the flavor was there but considering the hype I think I was a little underwhelmed.

    I was excited to see Shrimp'n Ain't Easy back for Gordon Biersch Night Markets for Summer 2026…read more Their Chop Cheese and Cheesesteak are still my favorite menu items, with juicy shrimp and crispy meat in each bite. Sometimes they provide green tomatillo sauce on top of the traditional orange sauce, which is great for cutting through the grease and cheese as it's tangy and sweet. We tried the Magnolia Chop for the first time and while this was great too, the hot link makes everything slightly saltier than I'm used to and is much more heavy and filling. I'll stick with the cheesesteak or chop cheese next time but will try more of their menu items going forward. Food arrives quickly even during the crowds and long lines at the night market. I've never waited more than 35 minutes combined for both the line to order and being called for our number to pick up our food.

    Really insanely tasty and decadent seafood tacos, hard to believe it's from a food truck…read more I just tried their Crab Taco and it's my favorite item now. Very generous with the crab and huge succulent shrimp. Super cheesy too. I'm actually glad it's not also vampiro style. Whatever you order, be ready for the cheese, because they are super loaded, and luckily I love both cheese and seafood. For the quality and generosity you get, these are well worth the price (Crab - $10, Vampiro - $8), and I was quite full after these two. Very fast service too, even during busy afternoons.
